Future QB play

Seeing past next year, assuming that Etling will be the starter (because he is the incumbent. I don't think he will be but for the sake of hypotheticals) who will be the most successful out of Lindsey Scott, Brennan, McMillan, or Narcisse? Personally, I think Scott will be due to a new offense and he has something that many of our past QBs haven't had which is he has it in between the ears (not to say any of those QBs that I also named don't because I believe that they all do or will get their chance to prove it). We have a bright future. Geaux Tigers!

Brennan might need to red shirt and add good weight, Narcisse has had both knees operated on since HC so health is a question until he get on the field. McMillin could be in play but Scott should get a good look. All depends on new OC.

I agree with that. although I haven't been a huge kiffin fan in the past, I do think a HUGE advantage for us if he does become OC will be that he will build an offense around our best QB which is really good because we have so many different styles of guys here

The job will be Etling's to lose. He will start in game one and he will keep the job unless he fouls up.

Etling has progressed. It will be interesting

Colt Brennan will be the qb after Etling leaves.

Lot of tools to work with as an OC. All depends on the system

Wow ncaa must have retroactively gave him more eligibility. So does this mean we are hiring June jones? I'm a little worried about his last performance against an sec team Georgia in the super dome. We might set records boys.

What evidence do you have that he has what it takes "Between the Ears" to play Big Boy SEC football?
Did he run the exact same Offense at Zachary that he's going to be running at LSU?
Can he throw the ball effectively in the SEC at 5'11"?
Can he manage an Offense with the "Quick Information Processing" skills that are required?
Can he take a pounding at his weight in the SEC?
No evidence as of yet that he can or can't at this level.

Didn't O say he wants to run some sort of spread and get dual threats to run it? Brennan in a spread is the opposite problem of what we've been dealing with for years. Right QB in the wrong system.

1. Calm down. Its an opinion board. People state opinions. Etling is the only QB with experience. We get it.

2. Widely known that Scott's wonderlic is the highest ever by an LSU player. Don't think "between the ears" is a problem.

3. OP assumes that the offense will be spread/Dual Threat based. I think he makes it clear in his post.

4. Uhhh... don't really get that. Blake Sims did just fine at Bama. 11 second mark here in an All-American Bowl, throwing from the pocket behind 6'6 tackles, 6'5 guards (committed to Auburn, Ole Miss, Texas Tech, Northwestern and Virginia). First pass is from the pocket. LINK

5. See 2 above

6. Uhh... at 210, I think so. Jalen Hurts is 205. Scott is built like a truck.

7. See 2-6. To say there is "no evidence" is a stretch.
To your point though, no one knows. We have talented guys here, and on their way. OP is just stating his opinion. If we go to a power spread (like Bama), it could get interesting.

Brennan runs a spread similar to Baylor currently in high school. He throws 50 times a game and is a better runner than Etling. But it's still a spread.

Why is everyone shytting on Etling the guy has progressed nicely. LSU first 300 yard passer since when.......c'mon give that guy a shot.

DE has done quite well. I'm sure the OC will be able to adjust his system to the QB who will start. But this really depends on whether we are spread-spread or power-spread. Obviously we are heavy zone read, it will make things interesting.

I saw Brennan play against B.M. this season. I'm no expert. But he's got good form, and throws a PRETTY pass, not that it makes him better. He moved quite a bit in that game by necessity. He got his...yardage passing, some yards with his feet.
He's a typical tall, rangy kid, built to be a QB, in my opinion. He will do nicely at LSU.

Russell Wilson is 5'10 215. Got a nice ring at the house. You gotta watch some more football.

People on here are getting the spread confused with read option offenses. The spread in most cases is passing more than running and read option require a qb that can run. Baylor runs a spread and their qb's don't always run allot, depending on their running ability, some allot, some not so much.
Many teams run the spread with their qb running little to none, it just requires them to make quick movements in and out of the pocket. With the speed of d lineman and linebackers the qb can no longer just sit back in the pocket and throw the ball.

You're right. But teams in the major conferences are running a lot of power spread (Bama). If we go "power" spread, it will be interesting. O's reference to dual threat QBs adds to this point.
